MAXQ305
Low-Voltage Microcontroller with Infrared Module
General Description
Features
The MAXQ305 is a reduced supply voltage, low-power,
16-bit MAXQ microcontroller designed for low-power
S High-Performance, Low-Power 16-Bit RISC Core
S 0.9V to 3.6V Operating Voltage Range

applications including universal remote controls,
consumer electronics, and white goods. The MAXQ305
combines a powerful 16-bit RISC microcontroller and
integrated peripherals including two USART ports and
a SPI master/slave communications port, along with an
IR module with carrier frequency generation and flexible
port I/O capable of multiplexed keypad control. The
MAXQ305 includes 80KB of flash program memory and
2KB of data SRAM.
S DC to 12MHz for Code Execution in Performance Mode
S 16-Bit Instruction Word, 16-Bit Data Bus
S 16 x 16-Bit General-Purpose Working Registers
S Secure MMU for Application Partitioning and IP
Protection
S Memory Features
ꢀ80KB Program Flash Memory
ꢀ2KB Data SRAM
The MAXQ305 can run from a low supply input voltage
of 0.9V, allowing the microcontroller to be powered by a
single alkaline AA battery. Code execution can run at up
to a 12MHz rate, or the execution speed may optionally
be decreased to 4MHz (Green Mode) to reduce power
consumption. In this mode, the IR timer and modulator
continue to run at 12MHz for maximum compatibility with
existing IR application code.
S Additional Peripherals
ꢀPower-Fail Warning
ꢀPower-On Reset/Brownout Reset
ꢀAutomatic IR Carrier Frequency Generation and
Modulation
ꢀOne IR Diode Direct Drive Pin
ꢀTwo High Current Visual LED Direct Drive Pins
ꢀTwo 16-Bit, Programmable Timers/Counters
ꢀOne SPI Port and Two USART Ports
ꢀProgrammable Watchdog Timer
ꢀ8kHz Nanopower Ring Oscillator Wake-Up Timer
ꢀUp to 32 General-Purpose I/Os
For the ultimate in low-power battery-operated
performance, the MAXQ305 includes an ultra-low-power
stop mode (0.4FA, typ). In this mode, the minimum
amount of circuitry is powered. Wake-up sources include
external interrupts, the power-fail interrupt, and the wake-
up timer interrupt.
